Framedrop Flashlight

[SnouGi]

Hello there..! We have a flashlight in our game that is causing a frame rate drop around 15 - 30... It is really annoying and I barely know anything about optimizing lighting etc.
Here's the code for it.. ((there are 2 lights spawning))

class ProtOneFlashlight extends Actor
	notplaceable;

var ProtOneLight OuterLight, InnerLight;
var bool bEnabled;
var bool bOn;
var ProtOnePawn pPawn;
var vector PositionOffset;
var float BobDamping;

var ProtOneAudioComponent FlashlightSound; 	// Audio component for playing the clicking flashlight sound

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
	super.PostBeginPlay();
}

function InitializeLights(ProtOnePawn pawn)
{
	pPawn = pawn;
	
	InnerLight = spawn(class'ProtOneLight', pawn);
	InnerLight.SetBase(pawn);
    InnerLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
	InnerLight.LightComponent.SetLightProperties(3);
	
	OuterLight = spawn(class'ProtOneLight', pawn);
	OuterLight.SetBase(pawn);
	OuterLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
	OuterLight.LightComponent.SetLightProperties(0.05);
	OuterLight.MainComponent.Radius = 1250.000000;
	OuterLight.MainComponent.OuterConeAngle = 145;
	
	FlashlightSound = spawn(class'ProtOneAudioComponent', self);
	FlashlightSound.SetSoundCue(SoundCue'ProtOneSound.SFX.FlashlightCue');
	
	PositionOffset =vect(5, -18, 85);
}

function UpdatePosition(Controller control)
{	
	if (bOn)
	{
		if (!bEnabled)
		{
			InnerLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
			OuterLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
			bOn = false;
		}
		
		InnerLight.SetRotation(control.Rotation);
		InnerLight.SetRelativeLocation(pPawn.WeaponBob(BobDamping, BobDamping) + PositionOffset);
		
		OuterLight.SetRotation(control.Rotation);
		OuterLight.SetRelativeLocation(pPawn.WeaponBob(BobDamping, BobDamping) + PositionOffset);
	}
}

function Toggle()
{
	if (bEnabled)
	{
		FlashlightSound.Play();
		
		if (bOn)
		{
			InnerLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
			OuterLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
			bOn = false;
		}
		
		else
		{
			InnerLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(true);
			OuterLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(true);
			bOn = true;
		}
	}
}

defaultproperties
{
	bOn=false
	bEnabled=true
}

What type of hardware are you using? I'm guessing your flashlight is using dynamic shadows, that can be very taxing on a system, typically not too much for one light but if you don't have a very powerful system then the effects could be high.
